Incredible homestay. Owner was amazing, wish I stayed longer. Even though I had a short stay he helped me arrange a safari and transportation to multiple sites, negotiated me a good price. Felt like family, had a great dinner together with some arrack :) Rooms were great value, super comfortable bed strong water pressure what more do you need

Fabulous place to stay, with outstanding service, best breakfast, helpful advice and a relaxing calm oasis in the trees. Saman kindly organised a Jeep safari, and a highly recommended cooking class session at a local organic farm. Place was spotless and can see why it’s a top rated place to stay.

Sun Shine Villa was a great spot for us to stay in Sigiriya. Dinesh and his family are very accommodating, and help make your stay memorable. Great location, couple minutes tuk tuk to town and main attractions.

The room was very nice and cozy, with a cute balcony and a very nice view into the family garden. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. The free cooking class was also amazing. We learned so much about the traditional foods and culture in Sri Lanka. Wish we could’ve stayed here longer!

This is a stunning place in the heart of Sri Lanka, if you are a traveler, then this is the place for you! You are in a real jungle, you can see animals in the area, in two days we saw peacocks, monitor lizards, a rabbit, deer and even a turtle! However, you are completely safe, no one will bite or eat you, the territory is fenced. Lion Mountain and Pidurangala Mountain are very close, you can meet the sunrise on one, and the sunset on the other.

The view was superb, not to talk about the structure itself. Duminda and his family were the best part of the experience. So human, so warm. Everything was just the best

Ruan was the most amazing host for this beautiful homestay. We exchanged a lot of stories and had such a great time with him and his family. They cooked amazing food for us, homegrown from their own farm and Ruan sat with us through each meal and we had great conversations with him. Loved out time there and would go back to Sri Lanka only to meet our friend again😊

Amazing people that welcome you into their home stay, making it a very homey place. The food, both breakfast and dinner, was absolutely incredible and best we had throughout our holiday in Sri Lanka. Definitely recommend the curry !! They even organized a last minute elephant safari and trip to Dambulla. The room was very clean with a stunning view from the top. It offers incredible price value for the experience that you get. Would definitely recommend anyone staying in Sigiriya.

Lovely homestay with a very welcoming family. The room was clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was really good and set us up for the day. In the absence of pick me drivers the host even drove us the 30 mins to the train station which was very handy.

It was a wonderful homestay. The host is a woman who has travelled as well and you can chitchat with her on the terrace. The room itself is basic but has everything needed. The bathroom is also basic but has hot water as well.

Would recommend! Great hosts - always helpful and friendly. Tasty breakfast and good location (close to restaurants, the bus & the lions paw). Took the bus to Dambulla for the day, really easy to do.
